Wow, this is the most wonderful artist residency! They take such great care of the artists and I met such creative people from around the world. The environmental artists make the 300 acre walk chock full of wonder and amazement. I was given my own studio to create in and it had a gas fireplace and a/c unit. All creature comforts were afforded us, as well as the creatures themselves filling the night air with a full chorus of calls. Close to the Long Island Sound and to a nearby waterfall, this place was magical in so many aspects. My favorite part was the artists I met. Sharing a house, meals and our art was a really beautiful experience.

The work I created there can be viewed on my website: www.CallieArt.com

I ended up selling two of my new creations, one to a fellow artist from the Netherlands, the other to a "friend of I-Park". I can not speak enough about what a simply fantastic time I had during my two week stay. I will truly miss my new friends!
